Lofty,
Hey I run a 20ft Super V with a 6 degree V (LT Model) and would not ever want to own a different boat...maybe a bigger one someday though. If you are looking for an open tiller controlled alumaweld there are 3 models out there to pay attention to. Alumaweld makes a 17' and a 19' open boat with a 10' degree hull called the Alumaweld LS. This hull is great for both jets or props and does a decent job of cutting through some chop. This boat is not going to track in the tribs as well as the LT Model though. The LT is built in an 18' and a 20' and holds a 6 degree V which allows you to go shallow and track like a dream....especially with the forward step gas tank that balances out the boat. I've had my boat in 4 inches of water and it performs flawlessly every time. If you are thinking of something bigger...then you will be getting into what Alumaweld calls their Super Vee Pro's where custom orders are more common so you might find a 23 footer with a 10 degree bottom or a 25 footer with a 6 degree bottom. My advice is to figure out exactly what it is that you want and then find it and buy it. Good luck and 3 Rivers Marine will take care of you if you decide to visit them.
